Secondary Immune Response

The enhanced immune response elicited upon a second or subsequent exposure to a specific antigen, providing quicker and more effective protection.

Memory Cells

Long-lived immune cells that "remember" past infections, allowing for a faster and stronger response upon re-exposure to the same pathogen.

Latent Period

The time interval between exposure to a pathogen or initiating event and the onset of symptoms or disease.
